(Boolean) history

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I've substracted one solid from another. Is the result in some way dynamic? It doen't seem so: When I scale the substracted object, the hole does not change accordingly. 

Is there a non-Dynamo way of doing thing like this?

See attached file ( objects are next to the main construction ).

Thanks!

Hi Remko,

Boolean operations are not dynamic, so once it's been executed, changing the tool won't affect the blank.

You could put these objects in a Group, which puts them in their own Undo stack, and you could switch out the tool and Undo/re-compute the boolean repeatedly without affecting the Undo stack of other objects in the sketch. Other instances of the Group would update as well.

But I would say Dynamo is still your best bet to auto-update boolean operations when geometry has changed.
